Clinch studs, also known as clinch bolts, are a type of fastener that is widely used in various industries, including electronics, automotive, and aerospace. These fasteners are designed to be self-clinching, which means they can be installed into a thin sheet metal or plate without requiring any additional hardware or tools. Clinch studs are a popular alternative to traditional threaded fasteners since they can be easily installed using a press, and their installation process does not cause any damage to the parent material. This makes them ideal for applications where the sheet metal or plate is too thin to accommodate a traditional fastener.

Advantages:

• Easy to install: Clinch studs/bolts can be easily installed using a press, without any additional hardware or tools, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Strong and durable: Clinch studs/bolts provide a strong and permanent attachment between two materials, which is resistant to vibration and shock.
• Versatile: Clinch studs/bolts can be used in thin sheet metal or plate where traditional fasteners cannot be used. They also distribute the load over a larger area, reducing the risk of material deformation or cracking.
